发生了什么
真相揭晓的一刻，迈尔斯当众开出一个亿的价码，要身边人指认这几个朋友里谁想杀他。侦探把前面所有线索一条条摆出来，告诉大家答案其实一直就在眼前。三个表达最值得学：in plain sight 是「就在眼前、明摆着」，形容答案根本没藏，只是没人注意；peel back the layers 是「一层层揭开真相」，形容把复杂事情慢慢拆开看；achilles heel 是「致命弱点」，说某人唯一的软肋。聊悬疑、复盘案情、吐槽别人致命短板时都能用。

这一章能学到
- 理解“shield miles bron”在本场的具体语气
- 分清“achilles heel”的字面和实际作用

- Look me in the eye — Look me in the eye 里 look 和 me 连起来，me in the 再粘成一串。

Lionel I sold my soul for this莱昂内尔，为这个我出卖了自己的灵魂。 一句自白把代价抬到最大：不是犯错，是拿灵魂换来的，适合在摊牌时刻用。
I m giving you all one last chance to make things right我给你们所有人最后一次机会，把事情摆正。 把复仇包装成「再给一次机会」，先礼后兵；最后一次几个字就是全部压力。
I ll pay you one billion dollars to tell me which one of them tried to kill me我给你十亿美元，告诉我他们当中是谁想杀我。 把恐惧标上一个荒唐的价码，越具体越好笑；用钱的数字表现绝望，比喊救命更绝。
Please Trust me It s all in plain sight求你了，相信我。一切都明摆着。 侦探的招牌句：真相不在暗处，就在眼前；一句平静的断言把整场谜题倒过来看。
关于这一章的问题
In plain sight 是什么意思？
意思是「就在眼前、明摆着」。侦探用它说明答案一直没藏起来，只是大家都没想到去看，常用来形容最明显的线索反而最容易被忽略。
「一层层揭开真相」英语怎么说？
可以说 peel back the layers，peel 是剥皮，把一件事像剥洋葱一样一层层拆开，慢慢看清里面的真相，查案、复盘都常用。
Achilles heel 怎么用？
意思是「致命弱点、软肋」，来自希腊神话。说某人什么都强、只有一处短板时用，比如 My Achilles heel 就是「这是我的软肋」。
Bet the farm 是什么语气？
意思是「押上全部身家、孤注一掷」，农场是全部家当，赌上它说明风险极大。创业、投资、下大注时用，语气比普通的 gamble 重得多。
Arm candy 是夸人还是损人？
偏贬义。字面是「胳膊上的装饰」，指被带出去充场面、只看外表的伴侣，像挂件一样。说别人时容易得罪人，别乱用。
